A one-of-a-kind exhibit that transcends the boundaries of textbooks and lectures!

Bachelor of Commerce students from the Fashion Management and Digital Business Management programs have teamed up and created a unique museum experience with curated pieces that represent fashion from different cultures and people from around the world. They are breaking free from the usual Eurocentric approaches to explore the incredible diversity in fashion. The project supports Equity, Diversity and Inclusion by reimagining the curriculum and empowering students to express their voices through clothing.  

Our Fall 2023 exhibit took place at our beautiful Lakeshore campus, where our visitors enjoyed exploring seven exhibits: “Transcontinental Treasures”, “From Grandma With Love”, “From Our Hearts to Yours”, “Threads Through Heritage”, “Threads of Empowerment”, “Sentimental Accessories”, and “Fitting in. Standing out.”

The pieces displayed at the exhibit are not just about aesthetics. They are either sentimental, ceremonial, or evoke feeling among those who wear them. The students enjoyed discussing their project work with our guests!
